We Couldn’t Find Them Today

Lake Ferguson continues to fall rapidly. It was 14.6, down 8/10’s, today when Mickey and I met at the ramp at 3:30 this afternoon. The spot we caught them in on the last trip was the first stop. We really were suspicious the fish had moved again since the lake had fallen some more and the fish seem to be moving with the falling water. Our suspicions were correct as we only caught one or two anywhere close to what was the good spot. We tried along a long stretch of bank with just one here and one there.  Another place we caught some the other day was marginal at best. Close to it we caught a few but they were on the small side. At the end of that stretch, I slowed down the retrieve on my DT 6 almost to early spring speed and caught a couple out in the deep water relatively close to the boat. I could not figure out whether the fish were coming up from deep or just following the bait out before they hit. We tried another place catching a few but we just never hit the mother lode. We ended up with 14, one under our Lake Ferguson limit, and a FOD of 2 1/2. It may be some time before I go again, but when I do, I have a radical plan on how to find the fish a little more quickly. I will let you know if it works.
